Reply to Vladimir Putin stages giant nuclear training exercise with 3,000 troops, in menacing show of strength to the West by HelpfulYoghurt

>Vladimir Putin's forces are training on the Yars missile system

Training is a good idea.

It would be a shame if an accident happened in downtown Moscow because those troops didn't know what they were doing.

Even worse would be if the country Russia is at war with managed to sabotage or detonate one of those near the Kremlin.

So many people world wide would shed a tear for the one or two innocents who are more damaged by Putin's removal than by his continuing in power.

First, that's a child. Are you saying you trusted children? Or are you merely engaging in bad faith arguments?

Second, that's not what she said, even if she wasn't a child. She was speaking quite rightly of the impacts of locking in climate change that will occur over the next 50-100 years, the actions we undertake today having ripples for generations after.

The definition of anecdote.

What has the temperatures worldwide looked like?

It that temperatures are increasing on a worldwide scale.

But, please, do go on quoting children incorrectly as if it is actual evidence to support your point.

>In a study accepted for publication in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, a research team led by Zeke Hausfather of the University of California, Berkeley, conducted a systematic evaluation of the performance of past climate models. The team compared 17 increasingly sophisticated model projections of global average temperature developed between 1970 and 2007, including some originally developed by NASA, with actual changes in global temperature observed through the end of 2017. The observational temperature data came from multiple sources, including NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP) time series, an estimate of global surface temperature change.

>The results: 10 of the model projections closely matched observations. Moreover, after accounting for differences between modeled and actual changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other factors that drive climate, the number increased to 14. The authors found no evidence that the climate models evaluated either systematically overestimated or underestimated warming over the period of their projections.
